[Intro]
Psalms 127, Selah
Except the Lord build the house
They labour in vain that build it
Except the Lord keep the city
The watchman watcheth, but in vain
Psalm 127:1

Thank you, it's just another day (Selah)
It's just another day (oh)

[Chorus]
Thank you Jah, me wake up this morning
Roll out the herbs before me start yawning
Tun 'round, buss a kiss 'pon me darling
Tell her say, "Honey me a touch inna the street"
In the street me see poor people bawling
Nuff juvenile d'even nyam from morning
Weh the black woman future, me asking
Weh the system a do fi she?

[Verse]
Now
Big up the gyal dem weh fight it alone
And a raise two, three pickney 'pon dem own
Weh the man deh? No man no deh home
Babylon have dem inna jail (hmm-mmm)
Big up the juvenile dem inna the street
We a say dem haffi make it and nah touch the chrome
Dem no waan we fi claim our own
But Africa nah form no fool inna Rome

[Pre-Chorus]
Ghetto youth we go on and on (Babylon waan we gone)
Hungry from morning till night come
Dem waan we fi live our life so
Dem a wonder if the youth dem a go stop (no)
A wonder if the ghetto a go drop (no)
Dem a wonder if we catch inna the trap (no)
A wonder if Jah turn Him back (no)

[Chorus]
Thank you Jah, me wake up this morning
'Tan up and smile all when we see it storming
Me vision say better days coming, every day that me a pree
Me no see no job nah nor free education weh dem did promise
None a dem never gi' we nothing
It's like ghetto youths lost to the system
Every day that me a pree

[Verse]
Now
Big up the gyal dem weh fight it alone
And a raise two, three pickney 'pon dem own
Weh the man deh? No man no deh home
Babylon have dem inna jail (hmm-mmm)
Big up the juvenile dem inna the street
We a say dem haffi make it and nah touch the chrome
Dem no waan we fi claim our own
But Africa nah form no fool inna Rome

[Pre-Chorus]
Ghetto youth we go on and on (Babylon waan we gone)
Hungry from morning till night come
Dem waan we fi live our life so
Dem a wonder if the youth dem a go stop (no)
A wonder if the ghetto a go drop (no)
Dem a wonder if we catch inna the trap (no)
A wonder if Jah turn Him back (no)

[Chorus]
Thank you Jah, me wake up this morning
